Deep-Dive Inspection to Find the Bugs that Automated Tools Miss
Every programming language has its unique properties. Python is designed for readability, Java is “write-one-run-everywhere”, and C applications must handle their own memory management. Similarly, each language has security quirks which must be considered during a thorough source code audit.
Outer Orbit has application security experts well-versed in a wide range of languages, from basic Assembly and C code up to high-level scripting languages. A review with language-specific security expertise can mean the difference between identifying critical flaws and having a major data breach.
STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE ON APPLICATION VULNERABILITIES
Identify Flaws Earlier in the Development Lifecycle
Penetration testing on production applications provides invaluable awareness of current vulnerabilities and potential damage if exploited. However it does have a reactive nature to it – testing after applications go public means identified vulnerabilities could have already been exploited. Secure code reviews identifies bugs before they get pushed to production apps – and found by attackers.
Targeted Audits for Your Most Important Software
Using a hybrid approach, Outer Orbit consultants utilize best-in-class code review tools to scan full codebase and deep manual examination for areas of critical importance.
These select functions, such as user authentication and client-supplied parameters, contain the majority of security flaws– so that’s where we perform the deep dive.
Integrated Code Review for Each New Push
Outer Orbit offers both stand-alone source audits and integrated code review as an ongoing part of a client’s development process. When incorporated into the regular SDLC, our application experts become a seamless part of your development team, ensuring each code push has been thoroughly reviewed by qualified security authorities.
